Wolf Administration Announces Start of Construction to Widen, Improve
Township Line Road Intersections in Montgomery County

2/6/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that construction will begin
Monday,
February 19, on a project to widen and improve two intersections on
Township
Line Road at Arch Road/Arch Street Road and North Wales Road in Whitpain,
Plymouth, East Norriton and Worcester townships, Montgomery County.

"This project is a critical component of a multi-phase program to
reconstruct,
widen and improve travel along a 9.1-mile section of U.S. 202 and selected
intersections between Johnson Highway in Norristown and Route 309 in
Montgomery
Township," Governor Tom Wolf said. "This is another example of a major
infrastructure investment we are making to improve our transportation
network
and local economies."

Under this project, PennDOT will improve the intersection of Township Line
Road
and Arch Road/Arch Street Road by adding a right-turn lane on the eastbound

approach of Township Line Road; adding a left-turn lane along the
northbound
approach of Arch Road; and adding a left-turn lane along the southbound
approach of Arch Street Road. Improvements at the intersection of Township
Line
Road and North Wales Road will include the addition of left-turn lanes on
both
approaches.

Additional improvements to both intersections include the installation of
new
signals and ADA compliant pedestrian facilities, pavement markings, signing
and
new drainage structures within the project limits.

Beginning, Monday, February 19, Township Line Road will be reduced to a
single
lane of traffic between Sharon Lane and Oakwood Drive. The alternating lane

closures will occur weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM through the end of
construction scheduled for December. All traffic will be controlled by
flagging.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area

because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather

dependent.

Scott Building Corporation of Norristown, Montgomery County is the general
contractor on the $4,478,705 project which is financed with 80 percent
federal
and 20 percent state funds.
